Anna's point of view

I watch, smiling as the three of them hug it out, I'm glad Ash has good friends, and I know these two will never let him down, and Dylan and I will always be taken care of because of Ash.

These three men will always look out for us.

After Ash shares a joke about his Vampire Pet owner being a bit of all right, he grabs hold of me and pulls me into the hug, and I find myself eloped in the middle of these three huge men. I've never felt as though I've belonged anywhere for a long time, but this feels right. These guys are my new family, and it feels good to have a place to call home.

We end up having a few more drinks, celebrating our engagement, before Ash gets one of the other fighters to take us home so that he can leave the car at the Pit. Dylan has decided to stay for a while with Bear and some of the other fighters. They will probably end up staying in a couple of the bedrooms upstairs.

We know that Bear will look after him.

Ash always has rooms ready for any

    Anna's point of viewWe're just finishing our breakfast when Bear rings to let us know that he's bringing Dylan home, telling us that he thinks it's time to speak to him about his strength.I agree with Bear; the sooner Dylan knows, the sooner we can help him understand this.Ash nods his head in agreement; although I know he's finding this hard, he knows the implications that come with this power, and once Dylan knows, it will change his life forever. Ash worries that telling him now is someone going to take a part of his childhood away.Probably because he's been there himself, but Ash had to go through this alone; Dylan has us now, a family, He wont have to deal with this alone.I put my arms around Ash's massive frame leaning my head on his chest as I whisper. "It's going to be okay, Ash, Dylan, has all of us now; we will help him to get through this."He nods his head as he whispers. "I know, baby; it's just that I know how hard this is going to be on him."I lean up and kiss his

    Ash's point of view.With the help of Anna and Bear, I finally pick up the courage to tell Dylan my story; at first, I see the admiration in his eyes, but that admiration quickly fades to realisation, and when I get to the final part, fear. The feeling I know too well is the fear of the unknown, the fear of realising that you're not the same as everyone else; there is something different, something that's a little inhuman.I pull him into my arms as I say."We will get through this, kid; you're not on your own anymore; we're all here to help you."Then my heart breaks as I watch him fall apart in my arms, Dylan has built walls around him all of his life, and it's hard to forget that he is just a child.I should get it, though, because I've been in the exact same spot where he is right now, only I did it alone, but Dylan won't ever be alone in this. He has me and Anna and Bear, who I know from experience will help him to get control of his fears, and then lastly, there's Stan, the best

    Ash's point of view. We spend most of Saturday in bed; what can I say? My little queen is insatiable, not that I'm complaining. I love it. Dylan has decided to have a sleepover at the Fire pit with Bear and a few of the guys. I think it's good for him to get away from the pair of us for a while and mix with the younger lads down at the Pit. I know there's no need to worry about him, not when Bear is around. And tonight, he has his fight; I've matched him with a very capable fighter. Although he doesn't know it yet, tonight is more about seeing if he has learnt to hold back rather than winning the match because I know he can win, but will he hold back? That's what I need to see. The fighter in question, Skid, has been told to goad him and try to get a reaction from him. We need to do this. We need to know that he's ready to face the world and ready to go back to school on Monday. We can't have him beating the shit out of the other kids at school; yes, he got away with it this time

    Anna's point of view.After a few drinks at the Fire Pit, the three of us make our way home, Ash and I didn't want to stay out too late, as the and the boys have a surprise planned for Dylan tomorrow.Dylan heads off to his room. As soon as we walk through the door, I take my coat off in the hallway, Ash leans in to kiss my lips, and I let out a little moan."Mmmmmm"He growls as he says. "God, I love that sexy little moan you make."Before he throws me over his shoulder as he strides upstairs and into the master bedroom, he throws me down in the middle of the bed. I giggle as I land with a bounce.He crawls up the bed over my body as he kisses me. "Mmmmmm"Now, this is not a gentle, sweet kiss; this is a kiss filled with raw passion, one that leaves us both breathless with promises of a night to remember. He nibbles on my lower lip, gently sucking it into his mouth as he works his way down my neck, gently sucking my skin as our hands rip at each other's clothes.We're naked and breat

    Anna's point of view.We're soon racing through the waters and out into the open sea; I don't know who's more excited, Dylan or me, neither of us has been on a boat before, and this one glides along the clear water at an unbelievable speed. The boys are in their element.I laugh as I watch Dylan's face; he's loving it, especially when Bear lets him handle the boat; at a slower pace, of course; when we eventually stop, Stan throws the anchor down before the boys start setting up the fishing rods and equipment. I strip off my dress, leaving myself in my bikini as I sunbathe at the front of the boat, smiling to myself as I feel Ash's eyes on me.After an hour of listening to the guys having fun fishing, I throw my dress over the top of my bikini before joining them.Ash pulls me into his arms as he whispers. "Are you having fun, baby?"I smile as I reply. "I am, and Dylan's loving it; it's good to see him enjoying himself."Ash nods his head as he turns to look at Dylan. "Yeah, it is. H

    Anna's point of view. When I wake up the following morning, Ash is already up; I still feel exhausted, yet I don't feel as though I'm coming down with a cold. Yesterday was a long day, though. I shrug it off as I jump into the shower before making my way downstairs. Ash and Dylan are both talking in the kitchen; Ash lifts his head up as he says. "Hey babe, I thought you would have had a lie-in; you said you were tired." I smile as I pour a glass of fresh orange juice; for some reason, I just don't fancy coffee today. " I couldn't sleep", I reply as Ash opens the fridge door and shouts over his shoulder. "Do you want some bacon putting on, Anna?" I sigh as I reply, "No, I'm okay. I'll just have some toast," Ash turns his head to look at me, and I shrug my shoulders as I say. "Maybe, my crazy obsession with food is finally wearing off." Ash looks at me as though I'm crazy; I can't help but giggle, but seriously though if I carry on eating the way I am, I'm going to be the size of a

    Ash's point of viewWow-what a weekend it's been; Dylan aced his fight on Saturday night, but not only that, He kept those powers of his under control. I know we have Bear to thank for this. He used the same technique he first used on me all those years ago, although I must admit he seems to have finely tuned it to perfection. No doubt, his high-ranking years in the military and the new recruits he has trained along the way have helped Bear to perfect that technique to what it is today.Then on Saturday, we had Dylan's surprise, a day on the boat out in the open sea fishing with the guys, Dylan loved it. He never stopped smiling all day, but he deserved it. It was evident by his reaction that he's never had anyone surprise him before, never mind an entire day of nothing but fun.Anna was loving it too, her very first time out on a boat, and she looked sexy as fuck in that bikini. I love to see this carefree side of her; damn, she had me good with that fish, the little minx; I can't b

    Ash's point of view.The following couple of days passed quickly; there have been no more incidents at school, thank God. Dylan has been going to the Fire Pit every night after school; he's getting a bit too cocky with Bear. If I'm honest with myself, it makes me a little worried; I think it's time I got more hands-on with his training; I start taping up my wrists. Stan looks at me as he says."You're going in the ring with him?"I nod my head as I reply. "Yeah, he needs it." Anna pulls me to one side, her face filled with worry as she says. "You won't hurt him, will you?"I chuckle as I reply, "No, I won't hurt him. I just need to show him that he's not invincible, and I need you up there with me, baby."Her eyes go wide as she says. "Why?"I sigh. "Because if I lose control, I know you can bring me back; I would never hurt you, baby; I should be good though I've fought my demons for a long time. I know how to control it now. I've just never fought another with the same strength as

    Anna’s point of view.And that is how I became the Queen Dragon, and although the day has been perfect, and we are married under the Moon Goddess, I know it’s not the kind of wedding Ash really wanted, but thanks to Cookie and Stans's wife Linda, I have my own surprise for him when we get back to the bunker.We say our goodbye to the moon goddess after she whispers to me,“The Queen stone must be carried with you at all times; as soon as it sees the light, it will expose your Dragon powers, but the stone can also be used to call me to you; if ever you need my help Anna, you can call me through the stone.”Thank you, Moon Goddess, I whisper, before she disappears back into the night sky. Ophelie looks at me as she says, “We have prepared a feast for our King and Queen.”We follow the witches back to their lair as the wolves part, leaving an aisle for us to walk through. Ash squeezes my hand as he whispers, “I know it’s not the kind of wedding you wanted, baby, but I am so happy to hav

    Anna’s point of viewSo, it is the following morning, and we are oft to Eden Forest once more, only this time for the first time. It is for a joyous occasion because today is the day I get to become Ash’s wife, Mrs Ash Willaims, Queen of the Dragons.Who would have thought it possible all those weeks ago when all I ever wanted was to be a normal person, and now all I ever need to be my King’s side, The Dragon King, the true king of the people, the man who will end this war and set humanity free.You couldn't write this shit, could you!I smile as we pull into the outskirts of the forest. The forest is decorated in green ribbons, and when Darius and his pack come to find us, they each wear a green, collar the colour every one associates with The Dragon King—Emerald green, just like his beautiful scales.I hold Ash’s hand as the wolves guide us to the witch's lair. Ophelia is the first to greet us with a warm hug, as do the other three witches.Darius leads Ash away as Ophelia ushers me

    Anna’s point of view.After the breakfast of Dragons, we head outside again, only this time we have Bear and Cookie with us; it’s time to learn the art of fire breathing.I watch as Ash and Dylan each take the gem that turns them into their Dragons, and yes, they are still as magnificent as they were this morning; I have to laugh as when Cookie see the size of Ash’s Dragon, I swear his eyes popped out from his head.Yes, Cookie, he is impressive! Both in Human form and in Dragon form.I somehow end up being the mediator between the two Dragons and their two best friends; Bear raises an eyebrow at this, and I shrug my shoulders and smile. How can I explain something that I do not understand myself? After a couple of hours, Ash lets out a long sigh * I can’t do it; it’s not working**It will, Ash; we must keep trying* I reply, trying to sound confident for his sake when, really, I have no idea if this is ever going to work. All I know is that for the Army to penetrate the underworld, t

    Anna's point of view.After many hours of talks with the high witch of Eden forest, it would seem that the only way to open up the underworld is by fire, and it just so happens that we have two huge Dragons on our side, Two huge inexperienced Dragons who must both learn how to fly and breath fire, Dylan is quite happy for once that he has a little more experience than Ash. and I smile as I watch the pair of them together,We are standing above the waterfall today, out in the open. Yes, it may be dangerous, but Ash hopes that no one knows of this place, and when a dragon needs to learn how to fly, then it would be dangerous to be seen.So here we are…Dylan stands above the waterfall, and I must admit I feel a bit anxious as I watch him. Ash unwraps the Dragon Heart Gem, and within minutes, two magnificent Dragons stand before me, Dragons whose scales shimmer in the early morning light. They really are a beautiful sight to see.Dylan looks to Ash as he says, *Just let your wings unfold

    Anna’s point of viewWe stay locked in each other’s grasp until I shiver in his arms; Ash gently places me down as he whispers.“Let’s get you out of here before you catch a cold baby,” I have to giggle as he passes me a towel hidden in some nook in the cave, and I whisper, “You think of everything Ash”“Everything except spare clothes, I must remember that for next time,” he chuckles. as he hands me his boxer shorts and t-shirt. Once I'm dry, I slip into his t-shirt, which drops to my knees, before pulling his boxers on; he looks at me as he says,“I like you in my clothes; everyone knows that you are mine.”Which makes me giggle as I say, “I think they all know I’m yours by now, Ash.” He smiles.“You were always meant to be mine, Anna,” he says before taking my hand as he leads me back along the narrow ledge to the balcony, which is thankfully still empty, and we step back through the gate unnoticed. We're not so lucky when we get inside, though as all heads turn to look at us, I c

    The Hidden King and IChapter 80Anna's point of viewAsh and the rest of the guys keep their promise and enjoy the whole weekend off. It is a weekend of fun and friendship, relaxation and happiness. It's good to see the atmosphere like this. It would seem they all needed this, but when Monday morning comes around, it's all back to business and back to planning the next step of this war with the Demons.Ash is up at the crack of dawn as usual, and after a quick shower, I join them in the kitchen as I help prepare the breakfasts for the troops; it's not an easy task when you have a few hundred mouths to feed,I join Bear at the stove, and Dylan and Cookie lend a hand, too; Cookie seems to be a good influence on him. He is not your typical moody twelve-year-old anymore; he is mature for his age and fits in here with all of the other guys. I have heard him talking of his girlfriend, though I do think he's missing her.I know that Ash and Dylan, being the powerful Dragons they are, will b

    The Hidden King and IChapter 79Anna's point of viewI wake up in the morning still wrapped in Ash's strong arms. I let out a sigh of contentment as I watch him sleep; he looks so peaceful when he sleeps, I giggle as I try to slide out of his arms; he lets out a groan but doesn't wake up, After using the toilet, I'm tempted to slide back into the bed beside him, but when I get a whiff of the bacon cooking, there's no way I can; it has been weeks since I've been able to eat properly my stomach grumbles as I follow the smell to the kitchen where I find Bear at the stove, I immediately grab some food as I help him to cook breakfast for the troops, it feels like I've never been away from the place, Bear grins as he says,"Boy, is it good to have you back, little lady?"I smile as I reply; it's good to be back, even though I feel as though I've never been away.He laughs, "Yeah, it must seem a little strange." "More than a little strange," I say with a giggle,"First, I find out that m

    The Hidden King and IChapter 78Anna's point of view.I wake up in Ash's arms as usual, but when I open my eyes and look around the roomI notice that I am no longer in the hospital or at the bunker.I turn my head to Ash, he smiles when he sees me awake, and I whisper,"Where are we, Ash?""At Eden Forest, in Ophelia's house."I frown; what the hell! I do not remember being here, and I don't know why we are here. And I listen quietly as Ash tells me everything.I'm carrying the Dragon heir….Ash chuckles as he says,"I know it's a lot to take in. God, I wish you could have seen everything that happened today; I wish you could have seen our baby the way I did; it was beautiful."Bear's deep voice calls from the doorway."About that" He hands me his phone before pressing play; it feels unreal as I look at the screen and watch myself. I'm lying on Eden Rock. I remember it from last time, and I watch as the witches chant and the wolves howl; the most beautiful white lady appears above
